Research direction

Start by tracing the workflow front-matter update path and reviewing the context from issue #1061. Identify the existing front-matter handling before choosing an editor; add round-trip regression tests that preserve comments and formatting, and verify malformed existing sections are rejected rather than overwritten.

Description

enhancement

Follow-up extracted from #1061. Before any automated workflow-source update is supported, implement or adopt a comment- and formatting-preserving front-matter editor. It must reject malformed existing sections rather than overwrite them and include round-trip regression tests.
